laid siege to the heart of young lady
whose father is one Of the wealthiest men
in town. The old gentleman looked APP
provingly on the satisfactory progress
that the young man was making, but
thought it would be well to see
whether it was the daught ter
or the money that he wooed
80 ardently. So one bright day he called
up the would be son-in-law to him and
told him blandly that he was not avcrse
to the marriage, but that when it W As con-
sumatcd he must take care of her himself,
and not expect her to take care of min, or,
in other words, that he could not sup port
them. This WAS done solely as blind,
for the paterfamllias doubted not that uh G
boy was sincere in his affections. And so
they parted, thu fold lover vowing his I'M
utterable attachment and his entire will
liqgness to shoulder the responsibilities
Of his prospective new life. But
the old seutleman's experiment worked
like charm. The young man has neve r

'all bets are off" as it were. The
young lady and her father are congratu-

BOBBY is looking around for hole to
crawl In. Meantime another fellow, with
good hard horse sense, came along and
married the girl, and the generous father
in-law gave them goodly sum Of money.

China there was just such q craze about
Natural gas as We have in this country
to-day. Gas wells were sunk with as much
vim and vigor as the Ce,ostials were capa-
bic Of; but owing to gas explosion that
killed several millions Of people and tore

try, leaving Q large inland sea, known on
the maps as lake Foo Chang, the boring Of
any more gas wells was then and there pro

Chinese history, that manv largo and
heavy pressure gas-wells were struck,
and in some districts wells were sunk
quito near to each other. Gas was
lighted as soon as struck, as 10 done in
this country. It is stated that one well,
with its unusual pressure, by induction
or back draft, pulled down into tho earth

thereof Lake Foo Chang rests on this
district The same catastrophe Is immi-

occur there will be such an upheaval as
will dwarf the most terrible OF earth

India and Kentucky will be rippe1 up

U, 4. ROLLING STOCKS WORKS.

URBANA, ONO, July 5--Decatur, Ala,
is building up on the prospects OF get-
ting the U. S. Rolling Stock works loca-
ted in that place. They talk about the
works being moved there this month,
and about working two thousand men.
Such stuff as that is ell bosh. The
works here employ 800 men when rum
ming at full tide. and at other seasons
run down as low as seventy-fve. The
works are now having run, and have
one thousand cars under contract. This
will keep them busy until the first OF
the year. 1t is hardly likely that they
will throw up their contract and pull up
stakes and leave. The leading men at
the works have no notice whatever of the
move, and Colonel Chaddick, purchas-
ing agent, does large part of the con.
tracing and stands very near the presi-
dent of the company, and he has had no
intimatiOn of the change.
